SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE CORRECT FORUM FOR VOICING THESE CONCERNS BUT I HOPE AND CAN BE ENLIGHTENED ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS. I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT MILEAGE OR DATES OF ANY OF THESE INCIDENTS WITHOUT FURTHER STUDY. THE SEATBELTS ON THIS TRUCK WILL LOCK UP INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WITH NO BRAKING. THE RIGHT WINDSHIELD WIPER HAS BROKEN FREE FROM THE MECHANISM TWICE. THE DAYTIME LIGHTING DOES NOT WORK THOUGH THE LAMPS AND FUSES ARE IN WORKING CONDTION. THE POWER STEERING PUMP SHEARED A SHAFT IN TWO AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE ENGINE CLATTERS AND WAS FIXED ONCE BY THE DEALER HOWEVER THE FIX HAS NEVER LASTED MORE THAN HALF OF AN OIL CHANGE(1,500 MILES.) THE HEADLIGHT AND ROTARY DIMMER SWITCHES AND SURROUNDING TRIM ON THE DASH GET EXTREEMELY HOT TO THE POINT OF BURNING. I KNOW I HAVE MISSED SOMETHING, IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SO MANY THINGS HAVE GONE WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE MOTOR CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER THE IGNITION IS SHUT OFF. DASH LIGHTS CONFIRM ABS FAILURE. REMOVED ABS FUSE TO STOP MOTOR. EBCM CONFIRMED BAD. @$800. JUST FOR PART. BELIVE THAT THIS FAILURE IS PREMATURE AND CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I SEE POSTED AT JUST YOUR WEB SITE I THINK GM SHOULD FIX THIS PART UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY.*AK
